ABSTRACT
Multi-Valued DNA computing uses biological molecules to do computations. The four-character genetic alphabets such as A-adenine, G-guanine, C-cytosine, and T-thymine are used in DNA computing. The input of DNA operation can be represented by DNA molecules with specific sequences. The instructions are carried out by laboratory operations on the molecules, and the result is defined as property of the final set of molecules. Quantum computers represent a significant advancement in computing capability with enormous performance benefits for specific use cases. The ability of bits to be in several states at the same time gives the quantum computer a lot of computing capability and it is much faster than classical bitwise computing. Besides the accuracy of a system, time or speed is a metric that can be used to measure the performance of a system. In this chapter, the calculated speed or consumed time for different operations is provided in multi-valued quantum, multi-valued DNA, multi-valued quantum-DNA, and multi-valued DNA-quantum computation systems.
